So if you're a fan of Derek Chang (if you're not, you should be!), the best work that I've seen him in is "Love the Way You Are" on YouTube. He plays the hot male lead and renowned chef/food magnate trying to rekindle with the girl whose heart he broke in high school (but through no direct fault of his own). At that time she was fat, but now she's skinny and a super model out for revenge! She has a rare disease that causes her to become instantly fat if she overeats but she really loves food and especially his cooking. He has ironically lost his sense of taste but only wants to cook nutritious meals for her as he tries to figure out if she's the same girl he's been looking for so he can explain what went wrong in high school.

For rom-com fans, there are plenty of laughs and misunderstandings on their path to happiness and the skinship quotient is quite high because he pursues her relentlessly, believing her to be beautiful whether fat or thin. IMHO it's second only to my gold standard of "Hello Again" for the romance and skinship with a gorgeous male lead just for fun. Pure romance with a lovely message of supportive, unconditional love from a man to a woman who wants to make it on her own terms. Heck, even when she gets busy with work and he feels neglected he still shows unfailing understanding and a sheer desire to see her happy.

I especially loved Derek Chang here. He's gorgeous (his Adam's apple is as charming and distinctive as Bruce He's dimples!) and I loved all the skinship and flirtatiousness that were hallmarks of his interactions with Eva/Yuanyuan. And what a positive message that inner beauty is what most matters and that we are all deserving of love no matter how we look! Plus, these adults are allowed to enjoy having sex! It's quaint in a 1950s way how marriage tends to be a prerequisite for sex in some of my favorite dramas, but in the real world, adults do what adults love to do! At first leading man is the typically arrogant CEO running roughshod over the sensibilities of his subordinates, but his inner core revealed a truly loving, supportive man ready to fight for his truth and his long held love for his high school crush. So reminded me of "Hello Again" in that the romance had been simmering from the start and we got to enjoy the ride to a very satisfying romantic ending.

The subplots and supporting characters were many and most worked well. I really liked the relationship Between Eva and her protective brother, the brother's comedic pursuit of Derek Chang's deputy, and how Derek gleefully stood up up to his own toxic mother. Another modern take on the younger generation compared to their parents'. So many times that stereotypical character of the disapproving mom is nothing but cliche but at least in this case our main man stands up for his true love in no uncertain terms.
